It’s home tour time. Cue trumpet fanfare!
First up, the kitchen and dining room. Here’s the kitchen when we bought the house and after the renovation.
(psst – all of the previous nitty gritty renovation posts can be found here.)
Our new island is totally the command center of the house. (All kitchen appliances and fixture choices can be found here.)
And check out the dining room transformation. Sayonara, nasty wood paneling!
Although, it’s funny – we thought we were done with this part of this house until we decided, well, we weren’t. We made a few more changes since photographing the house, namely, adding another window in the dining room.
I’m telling you, that window is a game changer. The morning light is beyond. LOVE.
As for the other window in the dining room, we changed that as well. (Please take a look at that before photo. Not only were we dealing with the wood paneling, but the previous tenants purposely installed a carpet strip into the wall. WHAT THE WHUT.)
Did I mention that the lovely and talented Jessie Webster shot these beautiful photos of our space? Here are some of my favorites.
Hooray! Family room coming soon.

July 15, 2013 at 4:33 pmI love how fresh you kitchen looks – great job!
I actually scrolled through the pics before I read the post and thought that the new window was just one stellar painting. I was wrong – but LOVE the addition!

July 15, 2013 at 5:01 pmThe house is beautiful. Well-done. It is a lot of work and decisions. I have been looking for shades and was wondering where you got your white roller shades? Are they solar shades? Really great photos.

July 18, 2013 at 6:37 amYes, they are solar shades and we love them because they pretty much disappear when they are rolled up. (We only use them when the sun is beating in the late afternoon, otherwise we have privacy from our backyard and don’t need to use them.)

July 17, 2013 at 3:46 pmThis space is gorgeous! I kept scrolling hoping for photos/details of the bread tag installation, though! Did you take it down?

July 18, 2013 at 6:38 amHaha, yes, the bread tag wall has been replaced by the dining room window. (Plus, honestly, I just got sick of it.)

July 17, 2013 at 9:08 pmI second the question about shades! Why are good shades/blinds so hard to find?!

July 18, 2013 at 6:39 amThey are so hard to find. The shades are solar shades and we love them.
